“The Melting of Meaning and the Hyper-Real” Is the church
different for a generation of people raised in the digital
age? If their attention is directed toward computer, TV, and
cell phone screens, are they constructing meaning in
different ways than people in the past? We will explore the
effects our screen-based living has on how we make meaning
and the ways meaning has become harder to construct. What
theological perspective might we take to address a
generation making their primary meaning not in the “real”
but in the “hyper-real” of screen worlds?

#2 “The Melting of Identity” One of the greatest pursuits
for late modern people (especially those of younger
generations) is to construct an identity for themselves. But
as we have seen recently, the fluidity of our culture does
not allow for our identities to be carved in stone. Instead
our identities are always transitioning with new jobs, new
marriages, and new ideas. The cultural necessity of identity
transition can be painful and difficult; it is easy to feel
lost within the transition. What then should the church do?

to Google: Proclaiming the Gospel in the 21st Century” Beth
Lewis, President and CEO of Augsburg Fortress, will explore
how the use of media to proclaim the Gospel is the same and
has changed from the time of Martin Luther to the beginning
of the 21st century. You’ll learn something about history
and about how our reforming traditions are alive and well
today. You’ll also get a glimpse of how technology can be
used for faith formation, worship, and outreach!
